Were you a wild child?

Alright everyone, my flatmate Kirsty has made an appalling and outrageous claim and it is now your mission to prove her wrong.

She has declared that you'll never find anyone from New Zealand, Australia or America who didn't read "Where The Wild Things Are" when they were a kid. But if you're English you didn't read it. She says she has asked 20 English people (clearly untrue) and most of them had *heard* of it but not a single one of them had read it. I find this preposterous! So I made a bet with her that, before Christmas, I would find three English people who read the book as a kid.
